I had an entire bag of potatoes sitting around. I knew I had to make something with them before they went bad. How many times was I going to make the same old dishes using potatoes? I figured I’d try adding some tandoori masala to them. What could possibly go wrong? Once again, an experiment went right and my husband ate the potatoes like they were popcorn! No kidding, they were all gone and I got to the kitchen just in time to save a little bit for the photographs. Serve with lemon wedges and enjoy with roti, naan or by itself. I hope you enjoy these Stove top Italian Tandoori Potato Wedges just as much as we did. A.K.

I had made this back in February and you guys loved the picture and asked for the recipe and I completely forgot that I had not put it up... so here you go!

There are many different types of fried rice recipes. Vegetarian, egg, seafood, and chicken are the common ones but I find that they taste different everywhere. You can’t really go wrong with some veggies and a day old rice to be honest. Not all kinds of fried rice have to be the typical Chinese style either- my mom in law makes delicious fried rice that doesn’t have the typical flavours. Here is 1 of my recipes that’s sort of a Chinese vegetable & egg fried rice style that’s not at all like the restaurant version but is very easy to prep and tastes great as a side or on its own too with some hot sauce.

We asked you to guess what was on this plate and you did! 4 of you will get to enjoy this on us!

Oh Italy, how I love thee and your beautiful flavors :) Italian food is probably one of the most loved cuisines in the western hemisphere, from the glorious pizzas to the labor of love in the pastas, the brightness of basil, the boldness of Tiramisu and the madness of eggplant Parmesan, there is something for every lover to engage their taste buds and take delight in every bite.

It's difficult to incorporate life in general and try to eat healthy. So when I was at the organic grocery store last night, I saw this beautifully packaged container of fresh organic tapenade and a light bulb went off in my head.

I've recently shared a zucchini with pesto recipe with you all but I thought to myself, why not mix some alfredo and olive tapenade into the mix? The tapenade was ready to go, I had extra alfredo sauce leftover and a tub of pesto; you can use a store bought pesto since it requires minimal processing. All I had to do was make the noodles and mix the sauces!

I am not usually an olive fan except in a tapenade. But I tell ya, this combo was HEAVENLY. I am including the fettucine recipe here along with some direction for the pesto and the tapenade. Sprinkle a mixture of crumbled cashews and garlic (as an alternative to parmesan) or cauliflower and garlic and you can garnish with some tapenade and/or basil.

There are a lot of nuts in this recipe and nuts contain a lot of good fats but shouldn't be over consumed either hence adding a zucchini to the alfredo sauce keeps the ratios balanced. Happy eats folks!

What you need:Noodles: 2 large zucchinis, peeled into noodles on a spiral slicer, mandoline, or cheese grater (1 zucchini per person)

Rinse the olives well in cool water. Place all ingredients in a food processor and process to combine, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary until the mixture becomes a coarse paste, approximately 1 to 2 minutes total.

Hot & soft breakfast biscuits with a hint of spice and delicious salami, topped with melting butter? Yes please! My husband and I are not big on heavy breakfasts (I have a smoothie every morning and he has nothing) but once in a while we will do a loaded brunch on the weekend and so I make the classics because the gaps are big enough between each brunch to have missed them. I will however experiment now and then with at least 1 of the items on the menu. This was one such morning. My husband cashed in his “breakfast in bed” coupon and I made him a complete brunch and these delicious cheat biscuits were part of it. Whip these up as an alternative to classic biscuits this weekend for your special someone. You hear that gentlemen? The recipe for the omelette I made is coming up tomorrow! Take notes!W.P

“Everyone runs around trying to find a place where they still serve breakfast because eating breakfast, even if it's 5 o'clock in the afternoon, is a sign that the day has just begun and good things can still happen. Having lunch is like throwing in the towel.” ― Jonathan Goldstein, Lenny Bruce is Dead
